Se7en Sandman - The Greatest Story Ever Told lyrics

[Intro] Jesus Christ? Who was he? Uh... This will be the greatest story ever told (yo) Jesus Christ! [Verse 1] Ancient days and wild ways We praise idols wicked men wearing titles Kings and priests and high scholars Ain't nothing changed everybody still wants dollars It's hell on Earth We living in a time where a child is denied his own birth In greed we thirst and hunger for materials Idolize official figures of imperial stature That's when the whole world's coming at ya With seven demons ready to snatch ya Until God's angels told Joseph in a dream The womb of his wife would bear life to a King The prophets spoke about the gift he would give The only Hope for this miserable life we live And we deserve every bit of it Cause we didn't live with it the Word of God as he had given it To Moses, we didn't even think when we chose this Greed and lust and everything that corroded The nation, causing His self-sacrification For the love of mankind and every nation And every tongue, he was the one that created the Sun And delivered us from guns and drums In heavy battle, even though we cursed His name Loving in fame putting this whole world to shame But he maintained a strong heart Without a sin to any body part delivering us from all dark Places, when I think about it amazes me How the Lord just created me For His very Own purpose Even though I thought my life was worthless I'm following the word 'til I'm earthless So listen to the rhyme I wrote it's a real one Sing praises say His name dunn... [Chorus] (x6) Jesus Christ [Verse 2] A woman unknown.. Anointed Christ with perfume Preparing His Flesh for the tomb For he knew the time was soon When the church would bury the groom Now it's time for the Pa**over Twelve disciples sat on the same table with Jehovah The body of Christ was broke The Bible quotes the Words that Christ had spoke: "This is My body I break it for you This is My Blood, your wine I take it for you” "All the sins of the earth I will put upon my shoulders No man could ever hold up” "And so we dine for the last you see One of you men amongst me will blasphemy” "Is there another way this could be done?” "No Peter, there's only one way through the Son” [Chorus] (x6) Jesus Christ [Verse 1] Thirty silver coins, bought us a potter's field The price set on His by Israel It was a dark day for Christ To hear this crowd say: "Crucify Him!” "Let His Blood be on us And our next of kin, let the lynching begin” The governor's soldiers took Him into possession Stripped Him, looking at Him undressing As they crowned Him with twisted thorns And a scarlet robe to adorn As they hail: "the King of the Jews” They mocked Him hypocrites and pharisees As the trees blow soft winds The Human sacrifice for sin was hoisted on Crosses In the midst of two thieves in the Skull place Three days past and He rose again... [Chorus] (x6) Jesus Christ [Outro] Surly he was the Son of God
